Railroad employees can use this service to file for unemployment benefits at their convenience.

**You may be eligible for unemployment benefits if you meet the following conditions:**
                      - have qualifying earnings in the base year;  	 
                      - are unemployed;  	 
                      - are ready, willing, and able to work (not sick or injured);  	 
                      - are available for work; and  	 
                      - have properly registered for unemployment benefits.

We suggest reading RRB booklet **UB-10** -- Unemployment Benefits for Railroad Employees before starting your application. En español:  **UB-10s** -- Beneficios de Desempleo para Empleados Ferroviarios.

You'll need the following information to complete your application:

**Information to verify your identity:**
                      - Address  	 
                      - Home and work telephone numbers

**Employment history:**
                      - Date(s) you last worked for your last railroad or labor employer, and non-railroad employer (if any)  	 
                      - Title of your last railroad or labor job, and non-railroad job (if any)

**Information for direct deposit:**
                      - Name of financial institution  	 
                      - Financial institution routing number  	 
                      - Checking or savings account number

If you do not complete your application, any progress you make will be saved for 30 days.

You only need to file one application during a benefit year, even if you become unemployed more than once. If you already filed an application for unemployment benefits since July 1, contact us toll-free +1 (877) 772-5772 to request a claim form.

Note:  If you reside outside the United States, or want your first unemployment claim to begin more than two weeks in the future, you must submit a paper **Form UI-1** -- Application for Unemployment Benefits to the **RRB field office** servicing your area.
